Chapter 72
Among the riders was a middle-aged scholar dressed as a scribe, with a face like a crown of jade, sitting firmly on the horse's back. Xin Han's eyes flashed a gleam, and he stared at this man.
The man seemed to be aware of it, and glanced sideways, his eyes were like lightning.
"Hidden!" Xin Han ordered in a low voice, and all the guards were hidden among the vegetation.
The scholar just felt it, it was a subconscious behavior, he didn't find any trace of Xin Han and others, so he followed the crowd into the village.
"Chen Jinnan!" Xin Han knew that this person must be Chen Jinnan, the chief rudder of the Tiandihui.
"There is nothing in vain under the prestigious name, such a sensitive feeling. I was almost noticed by him just because I didn't hold back my aura under the agitation of my heart. This person is really amazing." Feeling, it really is a master.
The watchman in front of the villa had already noticed Chen Jinnan's arrival, and had already gone in to report. At this time, the gate of the courtyard was wide open, and everyone in Qingmu Hall came out to welcome him.
After the ceremony, both parties took Chen Jinnan and the others in, and then the courtyard door was closed tightly again.
"My lord, these people gathered a crowd and they all have kung fu. They must be plotting something wrong. Maybe they are the remnants of Aobai's party. Why don't we go back and mobilize our troops to capture these rebels in one fell swoop? It would be a great achievement!" Niu Yonglu whispered in Xin Han's ear offered advice.
Xin Han shook his head: "No, Eunuch Gui is still in their hands, even adding them together is not as important as Eunuch Gui's one finger, let's see first."
Only then did Niu Yonglu realize that Wei Xiaobao was a celebrity in front of Kangxi, but he still didn't take it seriously.
Xin Han looked at Chen Jinnan's disappearing back, and sighed in his heart: "Chen Jinnan is brave and resourceful, and his kung fu is considered to be a first-class master in the world. In the hands of others, I have to say that foolish loyalty kills people."
In fact, if Xin Han mobilizes troops now, the Tiandihui will almost be wiped out, because among the people behind Chen Jinnan are the nine masters of the Tiandihui.
And Xin Han has at least a 90% certainty of besieging or capturing these people, whether he does mental calculations or not.
But Xin Han didn't want to do that. One was that he himself admired these anti-Qing righteous fighters, and the other was that he wanted to see if he could use the Tiandihui for his own use.
Another two hours passed, Zhang Gengnian suddenly whispered: "My lord, they have come out, it must be Eunuch Gui."
Xin Han looked over and saw that Chen Jinnan and his party sent Wei Xiaobao out of the courtyard, and led the horses as if to send him back.
Xin Han nodded: "Be careful to hide, let's not expose the target, just follow from afar."
Chen Jinnan and others sent Wei Xiaobao out for more than three miles, and then turned around and walked back. Xin Han circled far and copied in front of Wei Xiaobao.
Wei Xiaobao was riding his horse and galloping, when he suddenly saw someone blocking his way, seeing that it was Xin Han, his heart warmed up, and he thought: "It's still this master who treats me well."
He was eager to get away and worshiped Chen Jinnan as his teacher, and because he killed Oboi, he was now the incense master of Qingmu Hall of Tiandihui.
"Brother Xin." Wei Xiaobao didn't call him Master Xin Han when there were people around, so he jumped off his horse with excitement and rushed over.
Xin Han stopped the boy and patted him on the shoulder: "Are you all right?"
"It's okay, it's just..."
Xin Han didn't wait for him to finish before he interrupted: "It's fine if you have nothing to do, I'll talk about things later, go back to the palace and meet the emperor first, the emperor will be very anxious when he knows that you have been taken away."
Wei Xiaobao nodded emphatically, thinking in his heart: "If I, Wei Xiaobao, die, I'm afraid besides my mother, only Master and Xiao Xuanzi will be sad for me."
Thinking of such an unlucky thing, I can't help but "Bah" and spit a few times.
"What's the matter, is there something wrong?" Seeing his funny look, Xin Han couldn't help asking.
Wei Xiaobao wiped his mouth and said: "It's okay, the wind is too strong and sand flew into my mouth.
"
"Let's go back to the palace."
Xin Han and Wei Xiaobao rode in front, and let the guards follow not far away. Only then did he ask what happened to Wei Xiaobao after he was arrested.
Wei Xiaobao didn't want to betray the Tiandihui, he thought they were all good men, but he didn't want to hide it from his master, his eyes rolled around and his face became unnatural.
"The person who arrested you is from Tiandihui, right?" Seeing Wei Xiaobao's hesitation, Xin Han pointed out.
Wei Xiaobao had a ghost in his heart, he was suddenly taken aback by Xin Han's words, and subconsciously said: "Master, how do you know?"
I didn't realize it until I finished speaking. Isn't this self-inflicted?
Xin Han didn't wait for him to respond, and continued to ask a question, but Wei Xiaobao was frightened.
"The scholar who sent you out is Chen Jinnan."
"Master, brother Xin! Are you a god, why do you know everything?"
Xin Han didn't answer his question, he chuckled: "Don't worry, I won't betray you, but you have to think about what to say when you see the emperor, you have to have a way of saying it."
Wei Xiaobao nodded and said: "I've thought it over, let's say it's the remnants of Oboi."
After saying this, he looked at Xin Han: "Master, I...I..."
Xin Han stretched out his hand and knocked him on the head: "What's mine, let the fart go."
"I have worshiped another master." Wei Xiaobao felt very sorry for this elder brother and master, and told about the forced apprenticeship.
"Then you didn't say you worshiped me as a teacher before?"
"No, I just said that I learned boxing from a big brother." Wei Xiaobao was a little embarrassed, feeling as if he had betrayed Xin Han.
Xin Han smiled casually: "It's nothing, thank you, Chen Jinnan is also considered a master in the world, and it is your good fortune to be able to worship him as a teacher. Besides, I don't have any internal skills to teach you now, so you should learn from him in this regard."
After finishing speaking, Xin Han said with a stern face: "But don't let go of the boxing techniques I taught you, and try to break through the dark energy as soon as possible, so that you have the ability to protect yourself."
Wei Xiaobao solemnly agreed.
After a while, Wei Xiaobao looked back at the guards following him, made sure they couldn't hear him, then whispered again: "Master, I have joined the Tiandihui."
Xin Han nodded indifferently: "Well, I got it, it's nothing, you won't do anything to hurt me and the emperor, will you?"
Wei Xiaobao was moved in his heart, and nodded emphatically: "Don't worry, Master, Xiaobao knows who treats me well, and I will never hurt you in my life."
Urging the horse to gallop back to Beijing, it was evening when they entered the palace, and the two went to kowtow to the emperor.
Just like in the original novel, Wei Xiaobao had already planned a large amount of lies, how to catch them by the strong.
You don’t need to lie about how to put them in a jujube box and wait for the situation. Then tell me how the treacherous party set up a spiritual sacrifice, in order to wait for a leader, but did not kill him for the time being, tied him in a dark room. And how he broke the rope tied to his hand, killed the guards, and escaped.
How to avoid chasing and riding in the grass, how to steal a horse, how to go back by detour, and meeting Xin Han and others who came to the rescue are described vividly and vividly.
Kangxi asked: "Since the master met him, why didn't he catch the thief in one go?"
Xin Han explained: "I heard Xiaobao say that those rebels are many and powerful, but they are skilled in martial arts. I don't have many people with me, and they are not as good as Jianghu, so I thought I would come back first and ask the emperor to mobilize the army to arrest those people. The thief is not too late."
Kangxi nodded and said: "This is hard work for you."
Wei Xiaobao said: "Your Majesty, these treacherous parties like Obai are really powerful. When the servants escaped, they had marked down the path, and we will lead our troops to catch them right away, okay?"
Kangxi said happily: "Excellent! You go and ask Suo'etu to lead three thousand soldiers and horses, and I will capture it with you."
In this way, there was nothing to do with Xin Han, he knew that Suo'etu's trip would return in vain and there would be no excitement to see, so he bid farewell to Kangxi and went back to the palace.
Back home, Dodd told Prince Xin Hankang that he had sent someone to bring the 'Eternal Victory Gun' over. At the same time, he also sent two cooks over, both of whom were famous chefs who were proficient in dishes from all over the world.
Xin Han nodded, this Prince Kang really had a heart, he found an excuse to say something, but unexpectedly he remembered it clearly.
After dinner, Xin Han was very satisfied with the craftsmanship of the two cooks, and praised them a lot. Each of them gave a reward of ten taels of silver, and told them that there would be such a reward every month in the future. The happy two cooks said that they would definitely Cook well to repay the adults.
Xin Han returned to the room, took out the secret book of "Iron Cloth Shirt", read it carefully, and found that there were quite a lot of things to prepare for practicing this skill.
The iron cloth shirt should be covered with fine sand on the ground, and the practitioners will drop it on the fine sand from different angles and various parts of the body to increase the toughness of the skin, muscles and bones, and then use a soft cloth to make a hammer to hit it. All over the body, after the exercise is completed, it should be wiped with medicinal wine to prevent skin and muscle necrosis and festering.
The last step is to use the internal energy to move the energy and blood, so that the energy and blood flow through the whole body, nourish the skin of the muscles and bones, and achieve the effect of external energy and internal strength.
It is written in the book that 'this work achieves the diamond body, and the sword can hardly hurt the iron to make clothes. ’ When it is practiced, it can be difficult to injure with a sword, but it cannot block heavy weapons such as hammers and axes.
It also said that if there is no internal strength to stimulate Qi and blood, it can only increase one's own ability to resist blows, but it cannot stop the sword from adding to the body.
After reading it, Xin Han couldn't help but think that if he had achieved a great deal of energy, he would be able to pump his energy all over his body, and he wouldn't know the difference from that internal energy if he followed the practice method in the book to mobilize his energy and blood.
After thinking about it, I felt that I was thinking too far, so I should practice the previous kung fu first, and it would not be too late when I mastered the subtleties and achieved the energy.
Thinking of this, Xin Han called Dodd and told him to prepare according to the secret book. The medicinal materials in the prescription need to be old so don't be afraid to spend money.
Although Dodd didn't know what the master was going to do, he didn't say anything else and went shopping with the list.
Money is easy to do. Dodd bought the best everything according to Xin Han's instructions, and the preparations were completed in half an hour.
A corner of the yard was specially set aside to spread fine sand more than a foot thick, and the cloth hammer was also ready. The medicinal materials were all old and powerful. The wine was placed in front of Xin Han at this moment.
Xin Han was very satisfied with his ability to handle affairs, so he praised him a few times, and asked him to go back to Yangzhou in the next few days, so that he and his family will be blessed and longevity. come over.
Dodd was very happy to think that he would be reunited with his family soon. Xin Han told him to go down to rest, and he started to practice the iron shirt.
